Merchant West Investments’ research and investment framework allows us to deliver risk-adjusted real returns across the asset class spectrum without taking out-sized risks on our clients’ behalf.
We assess every security trading below its fair value against the broad macro environment to ensure that it remains attractive given the current circumstances and various factors at play in the market.
Our approach is also behavioural. We seek to exploit the behavioural biases of market participants in general (herding and chasing momentum). Our disciplined approach, applied within our research and investment framework, offers a compelling risk-adjusted version of value investing that represents an evolution of multi- strategy investing that is highly relevant today.
